Vincentia Chinese Restaurant (Shopping Village) — Restaurant in Vincentia

Well let's start with quality of ingredients, meat is succulent and tender+, vegetables are crisp but not raw, with fresh and vibrant colours with a quality snap when bitten, it's the perfect balance of cooked and raw as to absorb the best nutrients from veggies but not too soggy.

Now this is where the good points end: I'm afraid - I'm all in favour of not adding MSG but if that's the case and is a 'selling point' then you need to enhance those flavours via alternative methods like actually adding better quality or higher quantities of mouth watering flavours.

Majority of westerners endulge in Chinese Stir-fry for the pop of magnificent flavours - as it's health benefits are not the major selling point here.

I ordered a Sechauan Chilli Chicken with an advertised heat index of 3 out of 5 (my mouth argued 1 of 5), the chicken was cooked perfectly, vegatables too, sauce was wet, thick and plentiful but so so bland in flavour and just boring, basic oyster sauce blandness - not even a single Sechauan chilli to be seen or a fresh sliced bird's-eye to invoke mouth water fear, nothing fresh or dried,. just a few red flecks and some dried seeds from a spice jar, bit sad.

In addition my partner ordered a beef with honey and black pepper. We could sense the honey only just, but the pepper appeared to be absent entirely both visually and in taste..My partner has great sense, both visual and sensual if the dish had any pepper she would have sneezed,.I can assure you of that.

My summary of this restaurant is that they have a nice front of house, nice waitresses, they can stir-fry meat and veggies very well but severy lack the taste test - no colourful flavour popping here to be experienced, Bring your own MSG or ask for extra of your desired flavour.

Price was reasonable, special fried rice was a little better with Pineapple as an interesting addition, slightly better than Sanctuary Point but the multi coloured rice indicated the sauce was used sparing as to not coat all rice white/brown specc'ed not coated entirely.

In Summary and I hate to say it but if I need to add 'Salt' to my Chinese dish to make it pop than the flavours are severely underdone and in need of...

Firstly I would like to say that the restaurants exterior look is absolutely amazing and it has an exquisite design, then proceeding into the interior was beautiful, i love the aspects that really make the restaurant a chinese restaurant especially the painting at the back of the room.

The person to greet me was so nice and provided amazing service and was a houmous person, the little chubby chinese boy was exceptionally nice with his cute chubby cheeks and grand smile, just lit up the whole experience even more.

After the food was ordered the food came out with reasonable timing even during their busy time that we picked. Food looked amazing, everything was cooked to perfection and seemingly made with love and affection from the chefs. The taste of the food was just sensational melting in the mouth with every bite, everything was seasoned to perfection and just the whole experience was heavenly.

When everything was finished up we sat around talking to each other, while everyone else was working with no annoyance of us staying at all. The whole experience was astounding and I would go there everyday if I could, I would recommend for all nights out where the occasion is chill.

Lastly, I didn't rate the restaurant a 5/5 because of the mexican looking chillies in the corner of room which offset the...
